Structured Training Ends
in the Simulator.
Development Doesn't.

Every professional pilot is assessed against the same framework. The 9 ICAO Core Competencies — Leadership and Teamwork, Communication, Situational Awareness, Workload Management, and five others — underpin every proficiency check, every line check, every CRM programme across commercial aviation. The 77 observable behaviours that sit within them are the standard against which professional performance is measured.

The regulators designed these competencies for a specific purpose: to give assessors a common language for what they observe in the simulator and on the line. The framework points outward. It is the examiner's lens.

High Performance Pilot takes the same framework and inverts it.

The Gap

The simulator assesses performance. High Performance Pilot builds it before you get there. These are not the same thing, and the gap between them is where most pilot development either happens or doesn't.

A simulator check happens every six to twelve months. A CRM refresher, every year. In the time between those events, a pilot flies hundreds of sectors. The behaviours that define high performance — how a crew brief is conducted, how automation is monitored, how a non-normal is managed, how feedback is given and received — are practised on every one of those sectors, consciously or not. The question is whether that practice is deliberate or accidental.

For most pilots, there has been no tool designed specifically for the line. No structured way to bring the competency framework into daily flying, reflect against it honestly, and build a picture of development over time. That is the gap HPP closes.

The Dataset

HPP is built on 850+ knowledge insights — structured How-To guidance mapped across all 9 competencies, all 77 observable behaviours, and all 12 phases of flight, from pre-flight planning through to the post-flight debrief. Every insight is written at three development levels: Foundation, Proficient, and Mastery.

This is not generic coaching content. It is operationally precise guidance written from thirty years of two-crew commercial aviation experience — airline, business, and simulator — and reviewed behaviour by behaviour against the framework. Foundation tells you what to do on your next sector. Proficient tells you how to do it consistently under varying conditions. Mastery tells you how to lead that behaviour in the crew around you.

The dataset is the foundation on which everything in HPP is built. Pro members access the full library. Elite members receive something built from it — and from them.

Pro: The Framework in Your Hands

HPP Pro gives every member structured access to the complete competency framework, the full How-To library across all three levels, and Daily Practice — a daily session built around a single behaviour, with phase-of-flight context and a reflection tool to anchor it to real flying.

The Smart Pick feature selects the day's behaviour based on your competency profile — surfacing the areas where development would be most valuable rather than defaulting to a fixed sequence. Over time, Pro builds a clear record of deliberate practice across all nine competencies. That record is visible in the competency radar, the progress timeline, and the milestones that mark genuine development from First Flight to Grand Master.

For a pilot serious about development, Pro is the daily habit that makes the framework real. Not a training event. Not a certificate. A practice.

Elite: The Coaching Algorithm

Elite is where HPP becomes something genuinely different from anything else available to a commercial pilot.

Every Elite member has a profile. Not a demographic profile — a development profile. Current challenge. Recent simulator feedback. The behaviours you tend not to examine. The conditions in which you fly at your best. Those inputs, combined with the reflections you complete after each sector, give the HPP coaching algorithm a picture of you as a pilot — specific, honest, and built from real line experience.

From that picture, the algorithm generates a personalised Flight Plan. Not a generic training recommendation. A synthesis — three sections that tell you where you are in your development, where you are heading, and precisely what to do on your next flights to move forward. The prompt at the top of the Flight Plan is written to be carried into the cockpit. It is specific enough to be useful and operationally precise enough to be trusted.

The algorithm does not read your profile once and stop. Every reflection you complete adds to the picture. The coaching becomes more specific over time — the way a good Line Training Captain builds a sharper understanding of how you fly the more sectors they observe. After three reflections, the Flight Plan knows more about your development than most people who fly with you regularly. After ten, it knows things you may not have articulated yourself.

Two Memberships

Both memberships include a free tier to start — explore the framework, try Daily Practice, and see the first competency begin to develop before committing to a membership. There is no card required to start.

Built for the Line

HPP is built for professional pilots at every career stage. A First Officer building a development record ahead of a command assessment. A Captain leading their own performance with the same rigour they apply to technical standards. A Training Captain who wants a structured framework for their own development — not only for the pilots they assess.

It is not a training course. It does not issue certificates. It does not replace the simulator. It exists in the space that mandated training cannot reach — the thousands of sectors between training events where the behaviours that define high performance are either built or left to chance.

The simulator assesses performance. High Performance Pilot builds it before you get there. HPP is built for the line.
